Happened to me on Hardknott today, latest commit.

I traced the failure down to a chown, which lead me down the pseudo (formerly fakeroot) route. I did a devshell -c on my image, and I saw that the intercept_scripts directory in the image work directory is not part of the set of directories covered by pseudo. When I checked my environment, I was able to clearly see that the intercept-scripts directory was listed as a member of the PSEUDO_IGNORE_PATHS variable. After poking around the code a bit, I believe this is the commit that is causing the breakage:

https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/commit/meta/classes/image.bbclass?id=9463be2292b942a1072eea88881b9644e55aadb9

And looking at this file: https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/tree/meta/lib/oe/package_manager/__init__.py?h=hardknott#n173

You can clearly see where the intercept_scripts directory is named on line 178, and line 192 is where the copyFile utility is used to copy the intercept script into place. The chown in the copyFile utility is what is failing, and it is because of the change made to image.bbclass in the commit above.

I do not know if this is a bug, or something is going wrong. I have reported this to the Yocto mailing list.

Edit: If you add this to your image file, it works around the problem:

python () {                                                                        
    pseudo_ignore_paths = d.getVar('PSEUDO_IGNORE_PATHS')                          
    result = ','.join([x for x in pseudo_ignore_paths.split(',') if "intercept_scripts" not in x]) 
    d.setVar('PSEUDO_IGNORE_PATHS', result)                                        
} 

Edit: After discussing this with the Yocto team, it appears that the problem is due to the ownership of my poky repository clone. They are testing a code patch to fix the issue.

I think this is where you have a layer checkout owned by root. There is a potential fix in master now: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=eff192abe2ee43ebf981bafbb7fca8602ebdcf0c
